Leicester are expected to name an unchanged side from the one that started the 1-1 draw with Manchester United last weekend, although Ritchie de Laet is out through injury and Nathan Dyer is unavailable to face his parent club as part of the terms of his year-long loan deal.

ONES TO WATCH

Swansea - Andre Ayew: Swansea’s top scorer scored the goal that sparked the comeback against Bournemouth on his last Liberty outing and Monk will look to his class and capabilities in front of goal once more.

LAST TIME THEY MET

WHO’S THE REF?

Michael Oliver (Northumberland): Top-ranked Premier League official who took charge of Chelsea’s draw at Tottenham last weekend oversees Swansea for the first time since sending off Thiabut Courtois in the season opening draw at Stamford Bridge.

It is his first trip to the Liberty since last season’s 1-1 draw with Everton.

WHAT THE BOOKIES SAY

DID YOU KNOW?

Leicester are the only side to have scored in all 14 Premier League games this season – yet have failed to score on their last three trips to Swansea.

In fact, the last Leicester player to score away at the Swans was former England and Arsenal frontman turned television pundit Alan Smith after he netted the second in a 2-0 League Cup win in 1986.

AND ANOTHER THING...

Jamie Vardy’s 14 goals this year - including that run of scoring in 11 consecutive games – has earned the Foxes 14 points, the same as Swansea’s total haul in the table and a greater contribution than any other top-flight player has managed for their club this season.

CHRIS WATHAN’S VERDICT

Form will obviously suggest otherwise and Swansea will need patience – from fans as well as players – as they seek to break down the counter-attacking Foxes, but they are more than capable of the overdue performance and victory they need.
